journey.
This radical new book from Wayne Dyer proposes that we hold the keys to solving any problems we face within us. He sets out basic principles and foundations we can understand and practice in order to access spiritual solutions to any problems we are experiencing. The book is in two sections. The first sets out the theory, the second enables you to put the wisdom into practice. Part 1. The theory: Everything in the Universe is nothing more than energy. Light and though, spiritual energy, vibrates very quickly. Physical energy, and problem areas, vibrate more slowly. When the highest/fastest frequencies of spirit are brought to the presence of lower/slower frequencies, they nullify and dissipate those things we call problems. We all have the ability to increase our energy and access the highest/fastest energies to eradicate problems in our lives. In carefully structured chapters, Wayne Dyer draws on both ancient wisdom and firsthand accounts, and shows how to: • stop giving energy to things you don't believe in • keep your energy field uncontaminated • raise and maintain your spiritual energy. In the second part of the book, "Putting spiritual problem solving into action", Dyer shows how we can transform any negative energy into positive energy: • hate into love • hurt into forgiveness • doubt into faith • despair into hope • sadness into joy
Zensational Stories is an unorthodox and rebellious book that
offers a commentary on over 100 traditional Zen stories. It

life as it is - without getting into philosophical dogmas,
religions or faiths. The truth is within you. Zensational Stories
will motivate and inspire you to realise this for yourself. Read
the book - so you can then throw the book away and recognise what
the words are pointing toward - meditation!

A 5-step energy detox program from renowned energy healing expert,
Oliver Nino that removes the crippling blocks from your energetic
field that stand between you and abundance, purpose, and happiness.
Renowned energy healer and spiritual activation expert, Oliver Nino
shares his 5-step energy reset that eliminates the toxins that hold
you back from being in your healthiest state. In this book, Oliver
explains how energetic blocks lodge themselves in your system as
negative beliefs, emotions, and sometimes even physical conditions.
Traumas, ancestral roots, or environmental factors create feelings
of fear, guilt, anger, betrayal, uselessness, hurt, and inadequacy
that can flow through you like dangerous, free radicals. These
create walls in your energetic field, which can cause physical
disease, relationship issues, feeling “stuck,” a lack of
abundance, a lack of purpose, a lack of confidence, anxiety,
depression, or a general feeling of unhappiness. Writes Oliver, "I
find that when you cleanse, or remove, the blocks that weigh people
down using my healing techniques, it not only detoxes their
energetic fields—thus, healing various aspects of wellness—but
also allows them to tap into a higher power and activate their own
gifts, so that they can pursue their purpose on earth. Every one of
us is naturally wired to clear our energy fields. Our souls arrived
here in a clear, energetic state, and so it’s possible to return
to our natural way of being."
"I used to drink," writes John Bradshaw, "to solve the problems
caused by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based
loneliness and hurt, the more I felt ashamed." Shame is the
motivator behind our toxic behaviors: the compulsion,
co-dependency, addiction and drive to superachieve that breaks down
the family and destroys personal lives. This book has helped
millions identify their personal shame, understand the underlying
reasons for it, address these root causes and release themselves
from the shame that binds them to their past failures. Key Features

An introduction to the art and practice of meditation, this guide
lays down the foundation for ongoing spiritual development. A
series of ten lessons provide specific insight into Raja Yoga, with
practical exercises to complement and to help your understanding of
the method and underlying teachings. The lessons cover: an
introduction to the practice of meditation; rediscovering the true
identity and the nature of self; making meditation practical; the
shaping of personality; understanding and exploring different the
levels of consciousness; restoring our relationship with God;
understanding the natural law that governs the universe; a
spiritual understanding of how the dance of life on earth has
evolved; understanding the history and geography of time; and how
to support meditation and spiritual development with the right
lifestyle. The guide shows how meditation is more an experience
than something you do, more a process than an achievement, more an
ongoing inner journey than a destination. Take your time, be
patient with yourself and always be ready to go back to basics, to
lesson one, the true identity of the self, which is the foundation
of everything. The CD accompanying the book has an audio
introduction to meditation and many of the meditations within the
book are presented as guided commentaries. Recorded by the author,
the commentaries provide the reader with a powerful aid to their
meditational practice. Readers can also access assistance and have
their questions answered by email.

'Ground-breaking. Everyone should read this book' Bessel van der
Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score When it comes to
understanding the connection between our mental and physical
health, we should be looking at the exceptions, not the rules. Dr
Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard psychiatrist, has spent the
last fifteen years studying thousands of individuals from around
the world, examining the stories behind extraordinary cases of
recovery from terminal illness. Observing the common denominators
of people who have beaten the odds, Dr Rediger reveals the immense
power of our immune system and unlocks the secrets of the mind-body
connection. In Cured, he explains the vital role that nutrition
plays in boosting our immunity and fighting off disease, and he
also outlines how stress, trauma and identity affect our physical
health. In analysing the remarkable science of recovery, Dr Rediger
reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the
keys to good health. 'In an era of incurable chronic diseases
causing 60% of all deaths worldwide, this book provides one

healing, clearly articulated science and illuminating case
histories, Cured opens genuine vistas of transforming illness into

of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee
with Anne, hearing her story." --Sadie Robertson Huff, author,
speaker, and founder of Live Original "The song 'My Jesus' has

"Insightful and profound." - Dr James R Doty. When Dr Mary Gunn was
diagnosed with cancer, her first reaction was fear, and to fight
the disease aggressively for the sake of not only herself but her
young children and husband. But when it came back - and turned out
to be incurable - she knew that she couldn't live the rest of her
life in fear. Mary embraced a new approach to life: to accept all
the joy and sorrow, safety and danger, certainty and
unpredictability...in essence, to live freely. In our uncertain
times, when it's difficult not to feel the fear, Dr Mary Gunn's
remarkable memoir offers mindfulness tools for resilience, and
shows how we can all use acceptance, compassion and love to live
courageously, magnificently. Backed up by many years of experience
as both a doctor and a patient, her story will inspire you to let
go of fear, love life and live well.
